عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَادَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ رَوَاحَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ فَمَا تَحَوَّزَ لَهُ عَنْ فِرَاشِهِ فَقَالَ أَتَدْرُونَ مَنْ شُهَدَاءُ أُمَّتِي قَالُوا قَتْلُ الْمُسْلِمِ شَهَادَةٌ قَالَ إِنَّ شُهَدَاءَ أُمَّتِي إِذًا لَقَلِيلٌ قَتْلُ الْمُسْلِمِ شَهَادَةٌ وَالطَّاعُونُ شَهَادَةٌ وَالْمَرْأَةُ يَقْتُلُهَا وَلَدُهَا جَمْعَاءَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna ‘Ubada bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to visit Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah bin Rawaha (may Allah be pleased with him) to inquire about his health. Due to the severity of his illness, he could not move from his bed for the sake of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Who are the martyrs of my Ummah? The people said: The killing of a Muslim is martyrdom. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then the martyrs of my Ummah will be few. Listen, the killing of a Muslim is also martyrdom, plague is also martyrdom, and the pregnant woman who dies because of her child in her womb is also a martyr.
